Dear Marriner:
For your information I enclose
herewith sales tax material which was
put in the record today. I hope you

presents the basic facts. I think
these facts speak for themselves*

Thank you for your kind letter
of the 27th. On the corporate reserve question,
I also enclose a copy of a recant speech on
that subject before the American Institute of
Accountants, and a copy of a statement given
yesterday before the Subcommittee on Military
